So my 14g biocube has been stagnate for a couple months (no new additions or moves). My rbta decided to walk eventhough it's been in the same spot for a year...I think my gsp made it uncomfortable. If it goes...will it nuke or will the tank recover? I hope it'll just find a new happy place, but I just need to know if I need to excavate the whole tank to get it out, or if it'll be all good.
 
Fortunately being mostly water, they pretty much turn to mush and disappear (cleaning crew does a good job) but you should be fine. I'd obviously do a water change whenever you can to make sure nothing goes wrong.
 
I had a big condylac get minced by my circulation pump and it scattered everywhere , I only got a small foot piece out the rest the tank got.
I was afraid it would have goen wild releasing poison and stinging coral , but I ran a bit of floss and the skimmer got the rest all was well , and bubble tips don't sting that hard compared to other nems.
Good luck I hope it pulls through.
 
thanks for the input guys. I'm glad I don't need to panic. It'll be sad to see it go, but I know I did everything right by it. If the SPS is happy in my tank, I know the RBTA had plenty of light, and it found itself the perfect spot away from heavy flow, so it's idea to tank walk is kind of a surprise to me. (hopefully it'll take some gsp with it :) )
 
idk, my tank is tiny. there's no other real place it can go. lol

I hope it'll be fine. I'd rather it kill some coral than itself die, but we shall see.
 
I had bad luck Stick in my 40g. RBTA + Vortech = nuked tank. Came in one morning to a tank that was completely clouded and fish dying. Lost several fish before I could get water out and changed. It was nasty. It was a big nem so it was a lot of issue being chewed up and spit out. My advice is to try sponge sleeve around power heads if at all worried. GL!
